Illegal taillight covers??
Ok I searched first and found info close but not on.. If it needs to be moved it's ok. 
Does anyone know if those taillight covers you see like on Dodge where the ram is cut out of the taillight cover are illegal?? I'm in Washington State so I know some of the state laws are different.

"No additional lamp, reflective device or other motor vehicle equipment shall be added which impairs the effectiveness of the lamp standard."
So yes, they are against the law. The only exception is if you pay to have your vehicle, with the covers added "re certified". Basically it's a full vehicle inspection and includes making sure that the stop lamps are still visible at 300' in daylight with the covers. I understand the re certification generally runs around $500 or more, requires a reservation and they need your vehicle for as much as two weeks time.
